Sir Niky is right! Thats what I did. I read all the posts here re: Montero from 2010-2012. After reading, I pulled the trigger. Bought a Savanna White GLX Non-vgt. Like mine, I only have a problem with the alarm, but due for Casa check up because its almost 1000km. Still a montero for the price of Innova G and Isuzu Sportivo.

There maybe negative feedbacks here about the alarm, MID/AVT, black smoke and etc but I think its kind of normal that you cannot expect 100% perfection from your expectations. And as far as what I read, these imperfections were resolved.

Three things sold me the glx MT monty compared to its closest low end competitor.
1) Looks better,
2) more power
3) cheaper

Although its not VGT, if you want more torque and hp, play it like VTEC. Drive using the about 2000rpm range (used to do this with my sisters 2009 MT strada, i like it).

Again, its just me!
